Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Congrats.. good for you. I am doing mine through Richmond also. And the orientation lasted about 2-3 hours. It really depends on how many questions are asked by your group. One of the surgeons will talk to you, they will show you a video of the procedure. And you can opt out of seeing it, if you rather not. And they also have the nutrionist talk with you, and go over the 1200 calorie diet. And there is time to ask questions and understand the next steps to come in the process. I have a lifestyles class scheduled for tomorrow, and a weight-in. I'm still working towards goal. I've only been at this since Aug 2005. I'm working out daily, watching all my food, and drinking my water. I'm truely ready for all that this process has to offer.
